Oppn steps up pressure on LS Speaker for stringent action against Bidhuri; BJP alleges derogatory remarks made against PM

New Delhi, Sep 23 (PTI) Opposition leaders on Saturday stepped up pressure on Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla for stringent action against BJP's Ramesh Bidhuri over his derogatory remarks against BSP MP Danish Ali in the House.

As the BJP faced flak over Bidhuri's utterances, party MP Nishikant Dubey questioned Ali's conduct in the House and urged the Speaker to form an inquiry committee to look into statements made by the BSP MP and members from parties like the TMC and the DMK in Lok Sabha.

He alleged that Ali made "highly objectionable" remarks against Prime Minister Narendra Modi that provoked the ruling party member.
